Whenever I play a game of League of Legends with Skype running in the background I sometimes get a warning telling me to close League in order to prevent my cpu from overloading; however, this never happened before I got Windows 8.1. I updated all of my drivers and still occasional get this warning. I have scanned my computer using both Norton and Malware Bytes for any potential virus and still have this problem.

Is it Norton saying that there is high cpu usage? It does that to me sometimes, I just ignore it.
Usually it's temperature that you want to worry about, if the cpu is at 100% load it just will run slower.

Check the task manager and see how much windows says it's using

No, Norton isn't the one warning me about high cpu. A small window opens and usually takes me out of my game telling me that a certain program is causing high cpu activity; however, i think it might be about the temperature of my computer. It gets hot when playing games so I use a fan to keep it cool.
